Talk:Huntington Beach, California

Notable People

This section has evolved into a lengthy list of names. Should this list contain only people born in Huntington Beach and/or currently residing in Huntington Beach? It's questionable if a person simply attended high school in Huntington should be included in this list and should be removed. I would also propose that people who used to live in Huntington Beach but no longer live there should be removed. Alternatively, this could be separated into a List of people from Huntington Beach page.

I haven't received any feedback so I created a page to help clean this one up.

Nice job cleaning up the article. Thanks. Now like barnacles on the boats in harbor, we have to keep it from growing back. Fettlemap (talk) 23:27, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

"Huntington Beach" or "Huntington Beach, California"

The article title is currently Huntington Beach, California, with Huntington Beach a redirect. Is there any reason to not just use "Huntington Beach" as the article title? --Usernameunique (talk) 07:35, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Barring a major city in the US, the syntax used is City, State. Expandinglight5 (talk) 20:13, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Makes sense, thanks Expandinglight5. I see now that this is the convention per WP:Naming conventions (geographic names)#United States. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:30, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

History Section Add On

Meadowlark Golf Club is a public golf course located in Huntington Beach, California. Originally established in 1922 as the Long Beach Country Club, it was renamed Meadowlark Public Golf Links in 1933. The course was designed by renowned golf course architect William P. Bell, who also contributed to the design of famous courses such as Riviera Country Club and Bel-Air Country Club. Meadowlark has been a community hub for decades and is known for its accessible, player-friendly layout. In 2022, the club celebrated its 100th anniversary with special tournaments, concerts, and events. Notably, Tiger Woods took early golf lessons at Meadowlark with his coach, John Anselmo. The course today features a par-70, 5,609-yard layout and includes a night-lit driving range with 35 hitting stations.

Meadowlark is already mentioned in the Golf subsection under Sports. Maybe add a sentence about the architect and Tiger Woods. That's all I see that is needed. The rest sounds like marketing. Thanks, Bahooka (talk) 04:53, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
